The Modern architect Paul Rudolph once said that architecture was like music. Fittingly, in his Modulightor Building at 246 East 58th Street, Rudolph created a symphony of light, achieving a harmonious balance of “intricately interwoven spaces.” FRIENDS and The Paul Rudolph Heritage Foundation invite you to visit the Rudolph-designed Duplex within the Modulightor Building - a set of luminous spaces that are visually & spatially rich, showing Rudolph's mastery of interior architecture. Paul Rudolph co-founded the Modulightor lighting design company to create the kind of lighting he needed to compliment his own work - and then designed its glowing headquarters in the design district of mid-town Manhattan: a masterwork of high Modernism, embracing compositional complexity and layered space---while also supporting multiple functions. Explore the Duplex’s unique spaces - furnished with unique furniture designed by Rudolph as well as many items from his personal collections.
